Hahaha. Were done? Yeah I never do read most of what's posted here. Do you feel beat now

Oh but it was my friend. That's where you continually strayed off subject from the beginning. It's that part about defending against the truth you keep having the problem with.

Ade finally admitted he'd be soup sandwich. Took him several pages. As far as the Iraq war- we funded it with our troops. I suppose that is more funding than we need to speak for. You keep taking things as insults because that is the only defense you know to thwart the truth. I still think it's hilarious what an ass you made out of yourself at that meeting beating your chests about what great himalayan climbers you are. How can a fact stated about the truth be determined an insult if it's true.

Ade here's some stats to boil over. It appears the uk was not in superior stats here: WWII Statistics Following is a basic list of some of the statistics of World War II Battle of Britain Statistics will appear shortly Cost of the War World War II was by far the costliest war in terms of material and human resources expended. Three quarters of the world's population took part. That is 1.7 billion people in 61 countries. 110 million people were mobilised for military service. More than 50% of them were from only three countries. 22 to 30 million from the USSR, 17 million from Germany and 16 million from the USA. The largest number of people on duty at any one time were: Country People on duty USSR 12,500,000 USA 12,245,000 Germany 10,938,000 British Empire & Commonwealth 8,720,000 Japan 7,193,000 China 5,000,000 Due to the war's vast and sometimes chaotic nature, most statistics are only estimates. Most agencies concentrated on the war effort rather than keeping statistics. Logistics were so vast that some governments could not keep control. Most resorted to manipulation of figures and reporting, for political and propaganda purposes. A rough tally has been reached on the total cost of the war. It makes startling, grim and sometimes horrific reading, even by today's standards. In terms of human cost: Country Total Dead Allied military & civilian 44,000,000 Axis military & civilian 11,000,000 Total military deaths in Europe 19,000,000 Total military deaths in Japan 6,000,000 USSR military 13,000,000 USSR civilian 7,000,000 China military 3,500,000 China civilian 10,000,000 Germany military 3,500,000 Germany civilian 3,800,000 Poland military 120,000 Poland civilian 5,300,000 Japan military 1,700,000 Japan civilian 380,000 Yugoslavia military 300,000 Yugoslavia civilian 1,300,000 Romania military 200,000 Romania civilian 465,000 France military 250,000 France civilian 360,000 British Empire & Commonwealth military 452,000 British Empire & Commonwealth civilian 60,000 Italy military 330,000 Italy civilian 80,000 Hungary military 120,000 Hungary civilian 280,000 Czechoslovakia military 10,000 Czechoslovakia civilian 330,000 USA 407,300 Estimates for the total dead are some 60 million. 25 million of these are military, 35 million civilian. 5 million were Jews killed in the Holocaust. Economic Statistics It has been estimated that the war cost $1 trillion. Remember, this is 50 years ago! It was more expensive than all other wars put togester. The USA spent the most money, an estimated $341 billion, including $50 billion for lend-lease supplies, of which $31 billion went to Britain, $11 billion to the Soviet Union, $5 billion to China, and $3 billion to 35 other countries. Germany was next, with $272 billion; followed by the Soviet Union, $192 billion; and then Britain, $120 billion; Italy, $94 billion; and Japan, $56 billion. Except for the USA., however, and some of the less militarily active Allies, the money spent does not come close to being the war's true cost. The Soviet government has calculated that the USSR lost 30 percent of its national wealth, while Nazi exactions and looting were of incalculable amounts in the occupied countries. The full cost to Japan has been estimated at $562 billion. In Germany, bombing and shelling had produced 4 billion cu m (5 billion cu yd) of rubble. The words "Lest we forget" seem quite poignant now

Face it ade it really boils back to your ass would be german territory if it wasnt for us. I'll take your previous comments as a gracious thanks. I'm glad we could "assist" with a majority of the funding and troops during Iraqu war last time too. It's obvious you'd rather reference british history all day long. I think I know how it really went down.

one shoe for everything. i use the 5.10 red slippers. getting 5 different shoes seems redundant and just ridiculous for me.

Because he's proven to be a 2 faced tool he is in the recent past. Pummeling him with his own dung is better. Last remark I heard from one of my buds ade and his lad were bragging how GREAT himalayan climbers they were at a meeting. Hasn't everyone out there heard of the great Adrian Miller Himalayan expert I think my friend got so sick of it he almost puked that evening. I'm glad you've spared the rest of us the bullshit

Ade I dont believe there was many russians, poles or any of the sort fighting over the uk skies or invading from your bitter lands. Also I dont think anyone considered the Vichy Govt legit. That's a pretty far out there statement You can thank my relatives for kicking some nazi ass that yours were too weak to finish off Yeah and the brits were major contributors in the gulf war too. Ade you sound like some arrogant brit just like that alasdair. You guys have your head in so much shit you think your own does not stink. If you think britain doesn't have it's own share of brutal colony rule and oppression or even disregard for dictator government then well maybe you should read your own history books. We'd all be better if you'd go back to the UK where you belong. Face it ade your just pissed because it is true that you would have been born as some siamese science experiment for the nazis if the us had not come to save your parents from bitter war.

Well alpinek, I dont think that anyone should not have the right to voice their opinions. But if they want to shit on our country and dont like it I hope they leave because we have enough immigrants willing to contribute and that are grateful. They can go to Iraq or Sudan or wherever they like and try to make peace with some dipshit dictator. Implying that anyone wants to beat up people because of questioning political party lines agendas is almost as bad as listening to bleeding heart drivel some other people here want to rake their souls over and over again. Face it Ade, the US saved your British asses twice last century. Otherwise you'd be a drawstring lampshade or some 2 bit science experiment. I'm not asking for any personal thanks since I had nothing to do with it but some things are just plain true.

Discussing climbing with non-climbers
Cpt.Caveman replied to COL._Von_Spanker's topic in Climber's Board
I "climbed" mount si 36 times one summer. Now I am bored of it. Wonder why I still think the photos do all the justice if you take good ones. Ice climbing photos help too. Even if it's just an ice crag most people seem impressed. I think most people have heard of rainier baker and helens. If you have not done them no big deal but they are good mountains to do. Though not technical if you dont want them to be. My favorite slog of them is that baker. I have climbed with dudes that have done the mac and they are rough and tough slog masters beyond my wants at the moment. However we swap skills when it gets tough and I have taken the cruxes of the technical climbing. Let me tell you that there is something to be said about both abilities and if you hold both of them good for you. Just because someone climbs rainier does not mean they can climb something like Triple Coolers on Dragontail (although not technical too much) or something like the Nose of El Cap. Some peaks take totally different skills. The media does not understand any of this for instance. Either way fuck it. I am going to climb mount shitneck this weekend and I will place my name in the summit register. Later beyotches -
If I was at my other computer I'd throw some better one's out there
-
million is yours. collect from trask
-
ok maybe not but one clue could help. but not like I am givin too many away on my peak either
-
No but I will take a guess at yours shortly.
-
here it is for ya. my god not even a wild guess?
-
no pms, you are even game at it too, though it's almost like askin beckey
-
-
I cant give anything away filibuster. Good guess on sharkfin. Must have climbed it or just saw one of my other photos or just got plain lucky since I aint climbed much up there.
-
ask mattp. He climbed with him this past summer. I've only met the dude a couple times.
